The Magnificent Seven group is a tough league to break into. Just when you think the group is about to slow down and give up ground to the rest of the S&P 500, the cohort finds a new way (and a new leadership group within the cohort) to lead it higher.

Now that the new year 2025 is getting started, most investors are focusing on getting ahead as far as they can in the first quarter so that they have an open field ahead of them during the rest of the year and not worry so much about the market's fluctuations and volatility. One of the best ways to do this is by aligning portfolios with great businesses trading at a discount.

As we head into the first couple of weeks of the year, Advanced Micro Devices Inc NASDAQ: AMD shares are looking like one of the more intriguing opportunities in the semiconductor space. From their all-time high in March of 2024, the tech giant's stock has retreated a staggering 50%, including a 30% drop in the final quarter of last year alone.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being touted as a technology that could bring significant increases in productivity and exponentially grow the global economy. The latest developments in AI are still in the early stages, making this a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have soared over the last couple of years as optimism about the technology and its capabilities continues to grow. As most investors know, one of the more notable success stories is Nvidia, which is up more than 11-fold from its bear market lows in late 2022.

The Biden administration reportedly will impose even-tighter curbs on Nvidia and AMD AI chip exports. Nvidia stock fell slightly.

Strategists at HSBC led by Frank Lee lowered their price target on the shares to $110 from $200 and cut the rating to Reduce from Buy.

Many tech stocks soared over the past year as expectations for lower interest rates and milder macroeconomic headwinds brought back the bulls. But with the Nasdaq Composite index now hovering near its all-time highs, investors should get a bit pickier when it comes to the tech stocks they buy.

Technology stocks were in fine form on the stock market in 2024, with the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -1.89%) index clocking impressive gains of 28.6% last year following an even stronger jump of 43% in 2023.

AMD Stock: Time To Get Aggressive

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD, ETR:AMD) unveiled its latest lineup of AI and gaming chips at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, aiming to solidify its position in the competitive semiconductor market. The company introduced Ryzen AI Max processors for high-performance laptops, offering up to 128GB of unified memory and 50 TOPS of AI power, alongside PRO variants with enhanced security for enterprise use.

The Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock price has continued to underperform the market even as artificial intelligence tailwinds remain. AMD peaked at $226.86 on March 4th and has retreated to $129, a 43% crash.

CNBC's Kristina Partsinevelos joins 'Power Lunch' to discuss AMD's push into AI pc and the competition in the space.

At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, AMD unveiled a slew of new chips destined for devices ranging from desktops to gaming handhelds.

U.S. Chips Act beneficiary Intel Corp's INTC crisis appears to be worse than expected, as companies ranging from Nvidia Corp NVDA and smaller rivals, erstwhile partners like Microsoft Corp MSFT rush to nab Intel's market share that is critical for its profitability.

The US major chips stocks all seem strong in the early hours of Monday, before New York starts. That being said, as traders come back to work, this is a situation where we are due for momentum.

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and the excitement around their potential drove the stock prices of some of the biggest companies in the world higher in 2024. But not every AI innovator was a big winner.

Nvidia currently dominates the AI datacenter market with over 90% market share, but Advanced Micro Devices is gradually improving its hardware and software offerings to compete. AMD's recent releases, like the MI325X and upcoming MI350 series, show promise, with faster release cycles and significant customer interest. AMD's diversified revenue streams, including CPUs and GPUs, provide a cushion against potential slowdowns in AI hardware CapEx, unlike Nvidia's heavy reliance on datacenter GPUs.

Amazon is one of the few companies with free cash flow above $42 billion annually, primarily from its e-commerce division. SOFI has a tremendous flywheel effect and NU is one of the strongest fintechs fundamentally internationally. AMD is the second best behind NVDA, but considerably cheaper, and there's nothing wrong with investing into the 2nd best company if the valuation has a good risk to reward.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR 6.25%) didn't join the S&P 500 until September 2024. But with a staggering gain of 340%, the stock still managed to end the year as the best-performing stock in the index.

The technology sector is home to some of the market's best-performing growth stocks. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index has more than doubled in the last five years, but with artificial intelligence (AI) attracting lots of interest from Fortune 500 corporations, there are still attractive opportunities for long-term investors.

2024 was quite a year for the market, with the S&P 500 index notching a 23% gain. The broader market rose by over 53% over the last two years.

Jim Cramer is certainly an interesting figure in the world of financial media. The current CNBC host of Mad Money and other segments, Cramer's outspoken nature and brash takes on various companies has made him a lightning rod for criticism among investors on both sides of the aisle (those who are long or short a particular stock).

Speculative fervor in tech stocks is high, as bullish sentiments continued to rise. It's time to be more cautious. I highlight which are my preferred tech plays in 2025. Now isn't the time to go on highly speculative opportunities. AI infrastructure investments are expected to continue going up. Gaining an exposure into the value chain will remain relevant and necessary.

The stock market can sometimes feel like a popularity contest. Investors have flocked to Nvidia because it's the dominant supplier of the data center chips powering artificial intelligence (AI) models.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.  AMD is trading sideways Friday. But the stock is testing an important support level.

The stock market is a popularity contest in the short term but a weighing machine in the long term. At least, that's what Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham, the fathers of value investing, think today.

I initially covered Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. in June 2024 at $170 and rated it a Hold, but I am upgrading it to a Buy based on a compelling valuation. AMD is currently struggling against Nvidia and Broadcom in the data center GPU market, but this doesn't mean the company is doomed. AMD has a history of breaking into markets and carving out a foothold. It competes with Nvidia in gaming hardware and disrupted Intel's monopoly in server CPUs.

The past year has been a solid one for semiconductor companies, as evident from the 21% gains clocked by the PHLX Semiconductor Sector index during this period. But not all semiconductor stocks have benefited from the broader market's rally.

The biggest winners of the current bull market have been companies closely tied to the advancements in artificial intelligence. After zooming significantly higher over the last two years, many stocks appear fully priced.
